What is a cycle?
A cycle is the amount of distance we cover in a certain
amount of time.
We’re going to run on a 5 day cycle, where we travel
approximately 30 miles each day for 4 days, then rest.
Day 1: Shawnee, KS/30 miles (cycle begins)
Day 2: Buckner, MO/28 miles
Day 3: Richmond, MO/31 miles
Day 4: Carrolton, MO/30 miles
Day 5: Rest (end of cycle)
*Teams have the opportunity to re-structure at the end of each cycle.
What if a cycle breaks?
If we are unable to travel one day because of the weather, or
we are held up for an event, we simply pause the cycle.
When we’re ready to hit the road again, we pick up where
we left off.
Day 1: Shawnee, KS - 30 miles (cycle begins)
Day 2: Buckner, MO - 28 miles
Day 3: Unforeseen Event (pause cycle)
